You should take with you:

  • - Sasha Polozhinsky's disc;
  • - self-taught chess player;

… Once upon a time, in order to cross the oldest bridge connecting Lutsk with the settlement on the right bank of the Styr, a donation had to be made. They threw some personal thing into the water, sometimes even a pipe. So they said goodbye to the city. That's where the street is now. It was named the Brotherhood Bridge. It connects modern Lutsk with the ancient one. There rises the castle of Lubart, which was once the government residence of the government. There are preserved remains of the first Christian church in the city, built in the twelfth century of thin brick, which was called a plinth. There you can hear the history of the Catholic monastery of the Brigids, where orphaned noblewomen were taught, the Jesuit college, where they staged performances and kept a huge library of ancient books…

So if it is interesting to know why the guards, who guarded the oldest bridge day and night, were called clickers; who else, besides Lesya Ukrainka, Oksana Zabuzhko, Yuriy Pokalchuk, lived in Lutsk; If you want to play chess right in the castle yard, and also visit the only museum of bells in Ukraine, then this walk is just for you.
